Mr. Ming Yang

Dear Friend,
I am Mr.Ming Yang, director of operations of the Hang Seng Bank Ltd, Sai WanHo Branch. I have an obscured business suggestion for you concerning one of our client. This business is about Major Fadi Basem and his family who were killed during the war in a bomb blast that hit their home.

Until his death he deposited the sum of Twenty Four million Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars with my bank, after further investigation it was also discovered that Major Fadi Basem did not declare any next of kin in his official papers including the paper work of his bank deposit. What bothers me most is that according to the laws of my country at the expiration of 3 years the funds will revert to the ownership of the Hong Kong Government if nobody applies to claim the funds. Against this backdrop, my proposal to you is that I will like you as a foreigner to stand as the next of kin to Major Fadi Basem so that you will be able to receive his funds. All that is required from you at this stage is for you to provide me with your full Names, address and phone numbers so that the attorney can commence his job. After you have been made the next of kin, we shall share in the ratio 50% for me, 45% for you and 5% will be used to pay back expenses incurred from both ends in the process of the transfer.

I am prepared to release further details to you based on your response and communications.If you are interested in assisting me, I will give you more details.
Email:ming@my-ming.com
Awaiting your response.
Sincerely,
Mr.Ming Yang

I replied to one of them that I required a $100,000 fee in order to help them. The next day I had an email with a check attached for $100,000. I showed it to my granddaughter and now she thinks I'm rich.

How F***ing silly. Hong Kong Government? Just how old is this scam? Hong Kong reverted to Chinese from British rule decades ago! There is no Hong Kong Government as such, it is part of the Peoples Republic of China!

Forward the email to your local FBI office. They will want to know about it.

Don't do it unless you get a full 50% and let the expenses come out of Mr. Ming Yang's share.

One of those most common schemes I can see about every week, to obtain your information.

Yes, report the scam at once, as a civic duty.

It sounds as a great deal if he finds a fool to accept his offer.

doubtful - these occur in the millions every day

btw, there IS a HK govt that is separate from the mainland - as seen in the ongoing demonstrations that would not be allowed in PRC

[quote=cascoly]doubtful - these occur in the millions every day

I spent 38 years in law enforcement I know a little about the way things work. If people contact them with the information maybe they can make a case, maybe not. Scams like this bilk the elderly and unsuspecting out of billions.

Someone needs to take the first step and make a complaint otherwise if everyone acted on your advice these thieves would go unchecked. The bad guys are hoping they do.

I had a similar experience a few weeks ago. I have some shares (4937) the girl (on the phone) said that I could receive between £12.00 / £16.00 per share, and that her colleague would be in touch shortly (so far so good ?) when the next girl rang she informed that the money was ready to be deposited in a bank of my choosing, AFTER, I forwarded them £5’000.00, you gotta be joking says I, now f**k off, funny thing is ? They haven’t rung since ??

It’s a scam. Don’t settle for anything less than a 50-50 split.
